Jennifer Lopez said yes to Alex Rodriguez's proposal, and with the rock he presented, who could say no? The couple on Saturday posted an Instagram photo of their hands with a massive engagement ring on Lopez's ring finger. The former Yankee captioned his photo with "she said yes" and a heart emoji. The AP reports the couple has been dating since early 2017 and later that year landed on the cover of Vanity Fair magazine with their celebrity couple nickname, J-Rod. Page Six notes they had for the past couple days been posting photos from a tropical vacation. People cites a source who says the two are in the Bahamas.

In January, Rodriguez told the AP that he and Lopez had similar backgrounds and her latest film Second Act reflected the ties that drew them together. "It really resembles a lot of the arc that Jennifer and I lived in our life: Both born in New York, both come from immigrant parents, both have two children, both Latino Americano—her from Puerto Rico, me from Dominican Republic. We've been through our ups and downs, but here we are in our 40s and trying to live the best lives possible and, at the same time, give back and pay it forward," Rodriguez said. It will be Lopez's fourth marriage and Rodriguez's second. Each has two children from previous marriages.
